Drive Eraser 6.7.0 / Configuration Tool 2.6.0 - Release notes
Bug Fixes/ImprovementsFeatures:
- ALBUS-6002 - Improving the detection of faulty drives / Hotplug timeout
- In case Blancco Drive Eraser - BDE is used to erase loose drives, there is a new setting "Hotplug timeout" to set the timeout before the detection of a newly plugged drive is stopped. Faulty drives are particularly slow to detect and this timeout will help to spot them before they compromise the stability of the software.
- ALBUS-5249, ALBUST-469 - Hardware diagnostics: Webcam
- BDE offers a new hardware diagnostic for the webcam. The user will be able to take snapshots to check the webcam condition.
- ALBUS-5495, ALBUST-476 - Detect and erase attached flash devices
- BDE can now detect flash devices connected to a machine (e.g. SD card in a laptop, USB stick plugged to the motherboard of a server, etc.). When detected, BDE will show a popup recommending to remove those devices that can contain user data. Flash devices can also be erased if this feature is enabled in Drive Eraser Configuration Tool.
- ALBUS-6003 - Two-way communication: job specification on the drive level
- The Two-Way Communication allows the customer's Asset Management System - AMS to send customized erasure settings (job specification) to BDE (through the Blancco Management Console - BMC). This process has been expanded to loose drives: the AMS can send customized erasure settings to loose drives connected to an erasure station.
- ALBUS-6025 - Two-way communication: show the completed process without turning off the asset
- Before, a machine running BDE with the "Two-Way Communication" was turned off at the end of the erasure process. The job specification can now be configured to let the machine turned on (idling) after a completed process.
- ALBUS-3841, ALBUST-80 - Time zone support for reports
- BDE has time zone support for reports which . This is important to prevent time discrepancies in case the machine running BDE and the machine running BMC are in different time zones. In addition to this, the date/time/time zone are shown beside the icons in the BDE user interface.
- ALBUS-6001, ALBUST-475 - Support for Slovak language
